23 Joke - There's a Gag Here Somewhere, I Swear.

[xochipilli_cursed]

[[Aaron is in a good mood and has finished one of his projects.

It's a go kart! The metal frame looks a bit stockier than you'd except with most go karts but the engine built by Dist can handle it. It even has a passenger seat.

Anyone who would think to can notice there is a secondary exhaust which seems to not be used at the moment. It's probably nothing though, right?

Aaron decides to take his new toy out on the town!]]


A) [Action | Anywhere there is a road]

[[Aaron is zipping down the roads, not caring which street he ends up on. If he recognizes you, or if you wave, he might even pull over.

He can be found anywhere in town.]]


B) [Action | 1451 Mitchell Road]

[[He's going to pull into the driveway at Mitchell.

Turning it off and knocking on the door. Hoping miss_enma_ai is home.]]


C) [Action | 1251 Williams Road]

[[inababanchou has been doing a lot for Aaron, so guess who is going to get a chance to test drive the go kart as well?

After Aaron has had his fun,he's going to be trying to get Souji out to have a try.]]


D) [Action | Your home]

[[Are you a friend of his? Has he had a friendly conversation with you at least once? Maybe you were his date to the Prom?

Well, he's swinging by to check on you as well. Also, he wants to show off his toy. He's proud he put it together.]]

...

Don't big guys usually use those sort of things? I mean, a small sword is easy to use those seem kinda bulky.

[[Aaron's not weak, but no one would call him athletically strong.]]

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

Axes, maybe. Lances have always been a weapon of choice for infantry because it's versatile and simple to make, even improvise. ...There's a difference between a sword and a dagger, too. Don't underestimate the range.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I think I'd stick to a sword or knife... I never... well I never really thought about it beyond not using a gun.

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

A gun?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah... um... it's a device that shoots a small metal projectile at extreme speeds.

Umm... do you guys have cannons where you come from?

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a crossbow. [Nod.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah... but with gun powder. The projectile is smaller and goes faster.

But there's so much that can go wrong with a gun. I kind of avoid using them.

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

Powder... As those used in explosives? I'm unfamiliar with it, but I've heard of it.

You don't want to use ranged weapons. [It's a statement, but her eyes are faintly questioning.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it makes a mini explosion to launch things.

[[Best way he can describe it in his mind.]]

I rather not use them if I don't have to. I don't have the best luck with things so I rather keep it simple.

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

[Nod. It's obvious that he's the wrong person to ask if she wants to witness it, so she'll let the subject of how guns work drop.]

Sword, lance, and axe are the three basic weapon categories. Do you insist that you want to learn the sword?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

That, or maybe how to use a knife, yeah.

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

There are other swordsmen in town. [She recalls Lamia's offer (http://angelgressor.livejournal.com/2166.html) a while back.] Have you asked?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I really haven't... well practiced it since. I should probably start again though.

[[Since Jason went drone of course.]]

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

I can't teach, but I can spar.

[She looks at him.]

The swords have to be wooden.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah!

[[He's not going to spar with a metal sword... He's pretty sure that'd be a mistake.]]

I actually have one. Jason, Shana and I worked on them. It's not pretty but it works.

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

[Big one, especially with her.]

I can look at its form. [The sword, anyway...]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's not great but it's the best I could do considering I know nothing about swords.

And if you don't end up having the time to spar, don't worry about it. I'm not too sure anythings going to come of it anyways.

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

I have time, but our skill level difference is too great. [She's honestly not trying to put him down: merely stating things as they are - to her, at least.] It's up to what you want to do.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Jason and Shana both out class me with a sword too.

I don't think I am really going to find a lot of sword fighting for dummy books here so I'll take what I can get.

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

Books are useless. They may describe forms, but you learn and improve by practice. [She's speaking from experience.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I don't even think they'd have books on sword fighting here.

I agree on the practice part though. It's just going to take some time.

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

There were tomes back home. [There's a faint nonchalance in her demeanor.

And nod in solid agreement to that.] I can try to instruct. If you want that, tell me.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Then yes, I'll learn from you.

Hopefully I'm not too bad.

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

Give your time and place. I want to see your wooden sword first, too. [Looks like she'll end up having to craft one herself... but it'll give her something to do.

She's okay with this.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Okay, umm... do you want to practice early?

[[That's what he did with Jason a little.]]

Like an hour or so before having to leave for school? And I'll bring the sword over tonight or something.
